"I live for music" says Jeronimo. And it's a good thing he does too because it's one of the few constants in the fast-rising star's chaotic daily life. Born in Brazil, the singer-songwriter now 22 was adopted as an infant by a Dutch family. But when he was only 10 his parents divorced and he relocated to Sri Lanka with his mum and sister. There he learned English fast(!) while listening to a never ending soundtracks of Switch foot and Robbie Williams. Within two years this exemplary student was back in Holland and being invited to choose for himself where to enrol next. "Basically" he recalls, "I picked 'High School Musical'". In other words he attended the sort of academy that offsets its maths and science classes with acting and dance instruction. A few short years later Jeronimo's drama coach informed him that the famous Dutch writer Carry Slee was holding auditions for her second film "Timboektoe". Drawn to the rush of the try-out more than the prospect of being cast he went and bagged his first movie role! "Hopefully," he adds, "it won't be my last, either!" And it won.
